  • Great show

    I really enjoyed the interview with Mr Brainwash. It's amazing how the Peterson staff (Daniel) are able to find guests outside of the automotive industry (so | thought) and and make them come to life with everything we enjoy- cars. Great interview Daniel

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gordon Murray - Special Announcement
Q: How did the McLaren F1 project start? Was it something that was developed to fund racing, showcase the art of the possible or something else?
It started with a coincidence of two or three different driving factors and the desire to diversify McLaren into road cars.
Gordon Murray - Special Announcement
Q: Could you see the T50 ever going into endurance racing?
It's difficult because most of the top classes now require a hybrid, but the main reason is we're way too light.
Josie Rimmer - All Rally, all the time at DirtFish
Q: What would you say was your first introduction to rallying?
I first drove a Peugeot 206 Rally car at age 10, which was my initial interaction with rallying.
Josie Rimmer - All Rally, all the time at DirtFish
Q: How did the Women in Motorsport motion get started?
The initiative was born out of frustration due to the lack of media coverage for women in motorsport, leading to the creation of all-women's driving programs that quickly sold out.
Ben Paull - More than 59 years owning an El Camino
Q: What would you tell someone about staying with a vehicle longer than expected?
He suggests that long-term ownership can lead to significant financial savings, as well as a deeper emotional connection to the vehicle.
